Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for decoding an audio soundfield representation, and in particular an Ambisonics formatted audio representation, for audio playback using a 2D or near-2D setup.
  • Sound scenes in 3D can be synthesized or captured as a natural sound field.
  • Soundfield signals such as e.g. Ambisonics carry a representation of a desired sound field.
  • a decoding process is required to obtain the individual loudspeaker signals from a sound field representation.
  • panning functions that refer to the spatial loudspeaker arrangement are required for obtaining a spatial localization of the given sound source.
  • microphone arrays are required to capture the spatial information.
  • the Ambisonics approach is a very suitable tool to accomplish this.
  • Ambisonics formatted signals carry a representation of the desired sound field, based on spherical harmonic decomposition of the soundfield. While the basic Ambisonics format or B-format uses spherical harmonics of order zero and one, the so-called Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) uses also further spherical harmonics of at least 2 nd order.
  • the spatial arrangement of loudspeakers is referred to as loudspeaker setup.
  • a decode matrix is required, which is specific for a given loudspeaker setup and which is generated using the known loudspeaker positions.
  • loudspeaker setups are the stereo setup that employs two loudspeakers, the standard surround setup that uses five loudspeakers, and extensions of the surround setup that use more than five loudspeakers.
  • these well-known setups are restricted to two dimensions (2D), e.g. no height information is reproduced.
  • Rendering for known loudspeaker setups that can reproduce height information has disadvantages in sound localization and coloration: either spatial vertical pans are perceived with very uneven loudness, or loudspeaker signals have strong side lobes, which is disadvantageous especially for off-center listening positions. Therefore, a so-called energy-preserving rendering design is preferred when rendering a HOA sound field description to loudspeakers.
  • 2D loudspeaker setups wherein sound sources from directions where no loudspeakers are placed are less attenuated or not attenuated at all.
  • 2D loudspeaker setups can be classified as those where the loudspeakers' elevation angles are within a defined small range (e.g. ⁇ 10°), so that they are close to the horizontal plane.
  • the present invention describes a solution for rendering/decoding an audio soundfield representation for regular or non-regular spatial loudspeaker distributions, wherein the rendering/decoding provides highly improved localization and coloration properties and is energy preserving, and wherein even sound from directions in which no loudspeaker is available is rendered.
  • sound from directions in which no loudspeaker is available is rendered with substantially the same energy and perceived loudness that it would have if a loudspeaker was available in the respective direction.
  • an exact localization of these sound sources is not possible since no loudspeaker is available in its direction.
  • the invention provides a new way to obtain the decode matrix for decoding sound field data, e.g. in HOA format. Since at least the HOA format describes a sound field that is not directly related to loudspeaker positions, and since loudspeaker signals to be obtained are necessarily in a channel-based audio format, the decoding of HOA signals is always tightly related to rendering the audio signal. In principle, the same applies also to other audio soundfield formats. Therefore the present invention relates to both decoding and rendering sound field related audio formats.
  • decode matrix and rendering matrix are used as synonyms.
  • one or more virtual loudspeakers are added at positions where no loudspeaker is available.
  • two virtual loudspeakers are added at the top and bottom (corresponding to elevation angles +90° and -90°, with the 2D loudspeakers placed approximately at an elevation of 0°).
  • a decode matrix is designed that satisfies the energy preserving property.
  • weighting factors from the decode matrix for the virtual loudspeakers are mixed with constant gains to the real loudspeakers of the 2D setup.
  • a decode matrix for rendering or decoding a soundfield signal to a given set of loudspeakers is generated by generating a first preliminary decode matrix using a conventional method and using modified loudspeaker positions, wherein the modified loudspeaker positions include loudspeaker positions of the given set of loudspeakers and at least one additional virtual loudspeaker position, and downmixing the first preliminary decode matrix, wherein coefficients relating to the at least one additional virtual loudspeaker are removed and distributed to coefficients relating to the loudspeakers of the given set of loudspeakers.
  • a subsequent step of normalizing the decode matrix follows.
  • the resulting decode matrix is suitable for rendering or decoding the soundfield signal to the given set of loudspeakers, wherein even sound from positions where no loudspeaker is present is reproduced with correct signal energy. This is due to the construction of the improved decode matrix.
  • the first preliminary decode matrix is energy-preserving.
  • the decode matrix has L rows and O 3D columns.
  • Each of the coefficients of the decode matrix for a 2D loudspeaker setup is a sum of at least a first intermediate coefficient and a second intermediate coefficient.
  • the first intermediate coefficient is obtained by an energy-preserving 3D matrix design method for the current loudspeaker position of the 2D loudspeaker setup, wherein the energy-preserving 3D matrix design method uses at least one virtual loudspeaker position.
  • the second intermediate coefficient is obtained by a coefficient that is obtained from said energy-preserving 3D matrix design method for the at least one virtual loudspeaker position, multiplied with a weighting factor g.
  • the invention relates to a computer readable medium having executable instructions to cause a computer to perform a method comprising steps of the method disclosed above.
  • Fig.1 shows a flow-chart of a method for decoding an audio signal, in particular a soundfield signal, according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the decoding of soundfield signals generally requires positions of the loudspeakers to which the audio signal shall be rendered.
  • Such loudspeaker positions ⁇ 1 ... ⁇ L for L loudspeakers are input i10 to the process.
  • at least one position of a virtual loudspeaker is added 10.
  • all loudspeaker positions that are input to the process i10 are substantially in the same plane, so that they constitute a 2D setup, and the at least one virtual loudspeaker that is added is outside this plane.
  • all loudspeaker positions that are input to the process i10 are substantially in the same plane and the positions of two virtual loudspeakers are added in step 10.
  • Advantageous positions of the two virtual loudspeakers are described below.
  • the addition is performed according to Eq.(6) below.
  • the adding step 10 results in a modified set of loudspeaker angles ⁇ ' 1 ... ⁇ ' L+Lvirt at q10.
  • L virt is the number of virtual loudspeakers.
  • the modified set of loudspeaker angles is used in a 3D decode matrix design step 11. Also the HOA order N (generally the order of coefficients of the soundfield signal) needs to be provided i11 to the step 11.
  • the 3D decode matrix design step 11 performs any known method for generating a 3D decode matrix.
  • the 3D decode matrix is suitable for an energy-preserving type of decoding/rendering.
  • the method described in PCT/EP2013/065034 can be used.
  • the decode matrix D ' that results from the 3D decode matrix design step 11 needs to be adapted to the L loudspeakers in a downmix step 12.
  • This step performs downmixing of the decode matrix D ', wherein coefficients relating to the virtual loudspeakers are weighted and distributed to the coefficients relating to the existing loudspeakers.
  • coefficients of any particular HOA order i.e. column of the decode matrix D '
  • are weighted and added to the coefficients of the same HOA order i.e. the same column of the decode matrix D '.
  • Eq.(8) is a downmixing according to Eq.(8) below.
  • the downmixing step 12 results in a downmixed 3D decode matrix D ⁇ that has L rows, i.e. less rows than the decode matrix D ', but has the same number of columns as the decode matrix D '.

  • the first coefficients d' L+1,1 and d' L+2,1 of each of the rows L+1 and L+2 are weighted and added to the first coefficients of each remaining row, such as d' 1,1 .
  • the resulting coefficient d ⁇ 1,1 of the downmixed HOA decode matrix D ⁇ is a function of d' 1,1 , d' L+1,1 , d' L+2,1 and the weighting factor g. In the same manner, e.g.
  • the resulting coefficient d ⁇ 2,1 of the downmixed HOA decode matrix D ⁇ is a function of d' 2,1 , d' L+1,1 , d' L+2,1 and the weighting factor g
  • the resulting coefficient d ⁇ 1,2 of the downmixed HOA decode matrix D ⁇ is a function of d' 1,2 , d' L+1,2 , d' L+2,2 and the weighting factor g.
  • the downmixed HOA decode matrix D ⁇ will be normalized in a normalization step 13. However, this step 13 is optional since also a non-normalized decode matrix could be used for decoding a soundfield signal.
  • the downmixed HOA decode matrix D ⁇ is normalized according to Eq.(9) below.
  • the normalization step 13 results in a normalized downmixed HOA decode matrix D , which has the same dimension L x O 3D as the downmixed HOA decode matrix D ⁇ .
  • the normalized downmixed HOA decode matrix D can then be used in a soundfield decoding step 14, where an input soundfield signal i14 is decoded to L loudspeaker signals q14.
